Lesson Title: Let's Get Together

State Standards: GLEs/GSEs

National Standards:

Context of Lesson:

Students have read chapter of text relating to ionic and covalent bonding. They have been instructed in, and done work with, the octet rule and drawing Lewis Dot Structures. With this basis of knowledge, students will begin to discover ionic and covalent bonding in greater detail.

Opportunities to Learn:

Depth of Knowledge

Prerequisite Knowledge

Plans for Differentiating Instruction

Accommodations and modifications

Environmental factors

Materials

Large Post-it sheets -- 6-10 sheets
Markers -- 6 boxes
textbooks
Graded note-taking guide from previous homework.


Objectives:

Instruction:

Opening:

Admit Quiz, Written on board.
Draw the Lewis Structures of Carbon, Hydrogen, and HCl

Engagement:

Have students count off by 6 and assemble in groups corresponding to their number.
Give each group a large sheet of post-it paper, a box of markers & a textbook.
Have one group explore each of following topics: Ionic Bonds & Compounds, Cations, Anions (mono & poly), Covalent Bonds & Compounds, Binary Compounds, Multiple Bonds

Each group needs to master their topic. Using the textbook create a short presentation to the class on the topic utilizing their post-it as a visual for their presentation. Visual needs title, definition, any rules, examples, interesting or common/everyday occurences.

Work for 30 minutes.

Stop, clean up, hang post-its around room.

Present for 30 minutes

Closure:

What type of bonding is exhibited by table salt?
And what is the cation?
What is the anion?

For homework: Review your notes on the chapter, first inquiry begins tomorrow.
